Our Homeschool Autumn Rhythm

We have a rhythm instead of a schedule.

What is a Rhythm?

“The difference between a rhythm and a schedule, in my mind, is the difference between a list of things you’d like to do or might do vs. a list of things you are told to do. Rhythm is a guide. Schedules feel more like a boss.” – BethanyIshee.com

 

“Webster dictionary defines Rhythm as: movement, fluctuation, or variation marked by the regular recurrence or natural flow of related elements.”

Just reading the definition of schedule stresses me out, whereas the definition of rhythm is relaxing AND forgiving.  Schedule is time related, where rhythm comes naturally.” – Rule This Roost
